Shows, at the gathering, were full of home spun talent.  Even the stage was a make shift work of art. Curtain rods were held up by C clamps that someone, who thinks of everything, happened to bring along. 

At one point, the show stammered to a stop, a cord must have been tripped over, but there was an old "honky-tonk" style piano in the room.  Someone sat down and played a tune from the film OKLAHOMA.  Soon the whole lodge was singing, "Oh What a Beautiful Morning."  Well over a hundred people were swaying back and forth, in unison.  It was an experience to remember.  Before long the show was back on track. 

A bit different than the bleak scout camps I remember from childhood at a place called Camp Grizzly.
